I bought this to interface my Presonus Firebox to my laptop. For those who don't know the Firebox is a hardware device to convert signals from musical instruments and microphones to very high resolution digital audio files. It's used basically for a home recoding studio. The StarTech Firewire ExpressCard was specifically recommended by the manufacturer and it works flawlessly. So simple with Vista or XP, just plug it in your laptop and Windows configures the drivers. No complaints and highly recommended.

Works perfectly with presonus fire studio on Windo

by Tu on 9/4/2010

I bought this for presonus fire studio 8 channel. I works perfectly on wins 7 32-bit. I have an HP laptop model DV9700 with built-in firewire which works with a lot of dropouts. So I try out this card and it works pretty good though I must turn off wifi and close all of the other applications. So far it works better than internal HP firewire. Now I can record up to 18 channels (8 external channels of Yamaha 01v96v2 in from ADAT pipeline by using Sonar 8 pro). I have recorded live gigs with it! Cool! Contact me if you want the similar setup tunguyen64@hotmail.com .

Very quick ship

by Bill on 11/29/2010

I paid for overnight, but didn't expect quick handling time. Very well done. Product is fine; is a little loose in my HP express port, but maybe that's how these things are. Works for my Presonus Interface very well.
